Redcar and Cleveland is a Borough of great diversity. Not many realise we have outstanding natural landscapes, proud industrial heritage and amazing people. We are an economic powerhouse, with world-class industries and billions of investment coming to the area. We need to broaden our economic mix and ensure our children and young people get the best start in life. As a Council we have been delivering a massive improvement programme with more initiatives underway. We have some exciting opportunities to make a real and lasting difference.

We believe that our children and young people deserve the best. So we are looking for the best! We have an exciting opportunity for you to join a new leadership team who are all committed to delivering better outcomes for our children and young people.

We are seeking to recruit a Head of Children's Services with drive and ambition who will provide leadership across Children's Services and who will also play a critical role in the development of the whole directorate of Adult and Children's Services. We have an exciting programme planned for tri-borough collaboration working across neighbouring Boroughs which will strive to ensure we deliver excellent services which provide value for money.

Our new leadership team are committed, energetic and enthusiastic about ensuring we deliver high quality services to our children and young people – it's what they deserve. We are realistic about the scale of the challenges we face but are determined to succeed.
